Other work to do Wed Mar 23, 2005 11:17 am  Other work to do
 

Well,

In this case the noun work is uncountable, so it would have to be We've got other work to do.
If you want to use a noun in the plural form, here is an idea:
We've got other things to do.

Let me know what you think,
Regards
Torsten

Thanks Torsten, though it was a typo error, I had to face the humility within my friends circle. Do we have to be ashamed of the errors we commit in english, I dont speak English at home, but we cannot do business without it.
Also Most errors appear to our eyes while having a written communication.

Hello,
why should you feel ashamed?
It is not your mother tongue; for all that your English is good. Writing makes one perfect. Go ahead, write; don't bother about making mistakes; get them corrected.

hi,

well said, we must do our home work regularly. I have joined few blogs, and started adding few comments. The blogs can do better in developing our vocabulary. But the same is quite annoying when I see despicable posts and abusive comments.

I always return to this forum for brushing up my grammer and vocabulary.

thanx
